I'd like to warn people before reading-this is MY own opinion and I hope it doesn't offend anyone if so don't continue to read on!
In my opinion I don't really think either gender should be considered "superior" there's not really clear evidence to say who is most superior and why... I think we were influenced by the passages in the Bible etc because according to religion both male (Adam) and female (Eve) were said to be the first humans, but if we look at it from that perspective it would appear that Adam and Eve had sons which gives the impression that this was to be the "superior" gender of humans. Also I think the impression comes from words such as Human, Woman etc emphasising the male gender as if it most important. I don't really see there being a more "superior" gender because both male and females have flaws to consider which could determine the change of who is truly more superior... it's always been a battle of the genders and I don't think either are better than the other, how can two genders compete if there was one gender without the other humanity would completely die off... which brings me back to seeing them as both SHOULD be equal, however I can't deny that history has impacted society into believing one is better than the other. I'm all for female equality too but I hate those absolute idiots who stroll around not shaving, not wearing bras, promoting public indecency, dressing in provoking clothes and not wearing make up to "prove" a point. Yes a female is obviously physically different from a male but the real point they should be making is about the change of lives like working equally, without criticism and being able to work the same hours and pay as males! The idiots who flaunt the fact that they are obviously female and think they're feminists, in my eyes are the women who provoke males by the clothes they wear, how they act and to be honest what man is every going to respect women when there's women like that it's giving a worse reputation for females especially for those trying to change equality for the right reasons, not like women being trashy and disrespecting themselves. I actually find it embarrassing to be part of the female gender when there's women basically mocking their own gender and self respect! I think a female can be as equally as dominant as a male and I hope this changes in the future!

Like people who are gay, transgender etc is that what you mean? I don't mind them to be honest I have a few gay friends and two transgender friends who I get on with well! I think it's really annoying for people that mock and try to proclaim that it's a just phase, its not "just a phase" it is a phase and part of peoples lives though and I respect the people who choose to come out being gay or transgender who have to really suffer the abuse, violence and hate for how people feel about the singular way that they should be, which is not fair or right! I sat watching Caitlyn Jenner's "I am Cait" and I honestly thought it was a great way to show people who maybe aren't aware of transgender people and I think it's a great way to show and get acceptance when you hear other people's stories and struggles to get to where they are! I sympathise with transgenders because hearing some of their stories were absolutely shocking and unacceptable. I also feel ashamed of doctors/surgeons who have declined and rejected those who wish to become a male/female, it seems very patronising and completely unfair especially when that person has worked extremely hard, possibly under unspeakable circumstances to get the money to even pay for the hormones and procedures! Human rights should include being able to live your life whether you feel you are more male or female, and not having to fear for your safety or be rejected because of society's reactions and judgements towards expressing yourself and becoming the person you truly feel you are or are meant to be! I think they're are a lot of great people out there who feel they have to hide and deny their true identity to feel accepted, safe and welcomed into a society of judgemental people who also have issues. I think it's a real inspiration when people do stand up and say that they're not okay with the person they are and want to transform into who they really feel they should be! At the end of the day everyone is part of the SAME human race there should be no exceptions! I support LGBT and I admire the communities who also try to help and inspire others, and who manage to get through the struggles of their new life as male/female or even as being gay or bisexual. No one should be made to be and feel unwelcome, threatened or alone and I think more people should support them for who they are and wish to be! In saying this I can't stand people who shove it in your face so much that you feel resentful, for example some males and females act overly gay/lesbian and it reflects badly on those who don't but do want others to respect their sexuality and interests! I do appreciate those who celebrate their life, coming out and transformations and those who support! I think I hold a very strong opinion on this subject especially when it comes down to friends and trying to accept people whether you agree or not!
